Are you ready to walk on the wild side? Embrace your inner Norse goddess as you chase waterfalls, soak in hot springs, and hunt for the hypnotic shimmer of the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) in dark skies.

Fill your days with beauty, adventure, and camaraderie on this weeklong women’s multi-sport journey to the land of fire and ice. Iceland may be small—less than 400,000 inhabitants—but the terrain is mighty.

In daylight hours, you’ll take in the raw power of Iceland’s many waterfalls, including Gullfoss and Seljalandsfoss. You’ll also stop for historical interludes at Þingvellir National Park in the Golden Circle and the Caves of Hella. If atmospheric conditions are right, the Aurora Borealis will pop into view, shimmering in ethereal greens, golds, and reds in the night sky.

Are you packing your bags yet? Our expert guides will take care of all the logistics so you can focus on connecting with nature, unwinding in thermal waters, and meeting new friends.
